assassin and cave defense

 (Eh~. I wonder if the two of us will be left in this situation. Since it's about Maple, she probably didn't think anything of it, but if possible, I wanted her to stay here...)

 

 Hyde, who was originally not very good at interacting with people, to Sally, who was completely suspicious of Hyde.

 It wouldn't have been the case if Sally had been in her usual mood, but perhaps out of guilt, she couldn't start the conversation well, and there was an awkward silence between the two of them.

 

"... just now, that... was bad."

"... Sally?"

 

 It was Sally who broke the silence. She apologizes to Hyde without turning her face. But Hyde, not understanding the meaning of her apology, tilted her head.

 

"That's why, just now! Um, for some reason, Maple's reaction really makes her look like a classmate.

 

"... it's fine. It's always the same, don't worry about it."

 

 In fact, it was normal for Hyde to not be remembered by others.

 As expected, it was the first time that I was so suspicious, but I can understand that it can't be helped because of the situation.

 However, there was no way Sally, who was the one who did it, could be so divisive.

 

"I'm curious!"

“…But honestly, you still can’t remember me, right?”

"... I certainly don't remember."

 

 Maple called her "Kageyama-kun in the seat next to me", and Sally remembered that she had a classmate named Kageyama in the seat next to her.

 No matter how many times she thought about it, Kageyama's face never came out of Sally's memory.

 

“……For now, let’s talk in the classroom.

"Understood. For now, let's fight together at the end of the event. Just for the record, I don't have any medals. I gave them all to Maple."

"... I see. It's the safest."

"I think so too"

(The only way to damage Maple is to use a defense piercing attack. With that, if you hit the shield before the attack hits, it will be eaten by the shield. It was written on the bulletin board, but it's really the last boss.)

 

 Hyde didn't know that there was a limit to the number of times he could use [Evil Eater], the skill that caused Maple's large shield to eat players during the maintenance the other day, and that he had used up all of today's [Evil Eater]. .

 So, in reality, Maple can be beaten unexpectedly by crushing her with physical resources, but for Hyde, who didn't know the circumstances, Maple, who defeated over 2,000 people without taking any damage in the first event, was truly an impregnable fortress.

 

“But if someone with [Poison Immunity] comes, even Maple will be useless, so my role is to defeat the players who come here.”

“…Maple-san’s offensive methods other than shields are poisonous. There must be a lot of people who took [Poison Immunity] after watching the video of the event.”

 

 I haven't taken Hyde yet. I couldn't get it exactly.

 In order to acquire [Poison Resistance], which is the previous stage of [Poison Immunity], you must receive the status ailment [Poison].

 For Hyde, who was still playing the game with no damage, it felt like it would be a waste to receive damage due to his resistance. There may still be skills that require no damage, so I'm aiming for that as well.

 While chatting like that, a loud noise resounded from the entrance. Players who mistook this place for a dungeon entered in search of medals.

 

"... it seems like the chat is over."

"Yes. First of all, we have to do our job."

"...then I'll hide and attack when there's a chance."

"Understood. Then I'll pretend to be a monster."

"...understood ([Hiding])"

 

 Sally's eyes were looking towards the entrance, so Hyde crouched down and used his skills to hide.

 

"Okay then... where did you go?"

(Sorry. It's already hidden.)

"Some kind of skill... No, I shouldn't have said the skill name..."

"Hey! I'm in a big place!"

"No, let's think about it later."

 

 As the voice of the player who entered was getting closer, Sally put her doubts in the corner of her head and moved to the center of the hall to prepare for battle. And as soon as the preparations were finished, the players came in.

 

"Hey wait! Who's there!"

 

 The rest of the party stops at the standstill of the man with the ax in the lead.

 Five players entered. Weapons include axes, longswords, maces, staves, and bows. Players with a one-handed sword and mace also have a shield in their other hand.

 

(Party with three avant-gardes and two rear guards.role of shieldtankIs it a feeling that two people with shields are in charge? It's an orthodox and well-balanced party, but is there only one person who uses a staff that specializes in magic as a weapon? Well, in order not to put too much burden on one person, other players will also use magic to assist.)

 

"What do you need for this dungeon?"

"Player...? No, a monster?"

 

 An indecisive axeer calls out to Sally, but Sally doesn't answer.

 In fact, this NWO has no way of judging whether it is a player or a monster. Both can see the HP bar, but can't see the name.

 So if Sally utters a fixed phrase like this in a place like a dungeon like this, it's not strange to be judged as a monster.

 

"fight?"

"... It looks like a monster. Let's go!"

"""Oh!""""

 

 The players who actually entered will attack Sally, judging that she is a monster.

 

"I hope it will be a fun match."

 

 Fish clad in blue light appear from around Sally, further increasing Sally's monster feeling.

 

"Uoraaaa!"

 

 First, the ax-wielding man hits Sally with his weapon.

 However, such a visible attack does not hit Sally. When she dodges her attack by a narrow margin, she immediately shifts to her counterattack.

 

“[Double Slash]!”

 

 The opponent's HP bar is slightly reduced by four consecutive attacks with the daggers held in both hands of Sally.

 

(Are you serious now! It was certainly an easy-to-understand attack, but you wouldn't normally be able to dodge it!? Some kind of skill... No, it looks like a complete player skill. You're lying.)

 

 hyde is sallytechnologyplayer skillEven while admiring her, Sally repeatedly dodged all of her opponent's attacks and counterattacked.

 

(Mr. Sally avoids all attacks with a fine line and increases the number of troubles with a dagger dual-sword style. It seems that magic is used as a support. But what kind of vision is it ...)

 

 Sally dodged not only attacks from the front, but also attacks from the side and from behind with a fine line.

 It was as if the attack was avoiding Sally.

 

(Oops. If I don't prepare soon, Sally-san will get angry. [Concealed form])

 

 Hyde begins to move by activating a skill that hides his appearance, which is different from before.

 And the moment Sally reduced the mace-wielding player's HP to 0, she attacked the cane-wielder who was the furthest behind.

 

(【assassination】【Weak point detectionweakness] [Pinpoint Attack])

"Kyaa!!"

"What!?"

 

 Due to the wand user's scream, everyone's movement stopped and their gazes all focused on Hyde.

 

"(I'll ride Sally-san, too)... Let your guard down, the big enemy."

 

 Following Sally, Hyde also speaks like a fixed sentence.

 While everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of Hyde, only Sally, who expected that possibility, recovered quickly.

 

“[Triple Slash]!”

 

 I immediately killed the ax user who was in front of me, and this time I moved towards the Mates user.

 Hyde also cuts down the HP of the archer using throwing knives and [flying].

 

“What is this guy!? Where did it come from!?”

"Did you come out because you were defeated by one person!? Shit! I can't hit you!

“This is also a problem!

 

 Sally avoids all attacks, and Hyde activates skills one after another without speaking at all.

 Although their types were different, they were both troublesome enemies, and the players were defeated without a single blow in return.

 

"Good work"

"... good work, sir. I'm sorry for the large number of people."

"Ah~ That's fine. I wanted to fight too."

 

 Compared to Maple and Hyde, who want to avoid fighting with players as much as possible, Sally is rather belligerent. So he wasn't particularly dissatisfied with being able to fight a large number of people.

 

"There's just something that bothered me."

(Curious? Did anything change with the current players?)

 

 The players from earlier didn't use any rare skills, and they were no different from regular players anywhere.

 Hyde tilted his head, not realizing that Sally was interested, but Sally, who was the key, sighed and shook his head.

 

"... No, I'll stop after all. It's bad manners to pry into your skills."

“…?

 

 If anything, in NWO, it's easier to get stronger with rare skills than with high stats, so it's considered bad manners to pry into the details of skills and acquisition conditions.

 In the end, Hyde didn't understand Sally's question, but he didn't pursue it any further.

 

"(The skill was activated without saying the skill name. The skill doesn't activate if you whisper, is it some kind of rare skill?)"

 

 What Sally was concerned about was Hyde's skill, not the other player's skill, but Hyde, who recalled the battle earlier, didn't notice it at all.

 




Unexpectedly, the event didn't end.
The event will end next time.
For the time being, it is the original setting (Is it going to be this?).

Regarding [Poison Resistance],
the original story describes how to obtain [Medium Poison Resistance], but not how to obtain [Low Poison Resistance].
For the time being, Maple acquired it by being bathed in Forest Quimby's venom, so there must be a condition for acquiring it, ``poisoning''.
There is only one question for the author...Actually, before Sally acquired the unique series of the first volume of the original, she acquired [Poison resistance small].
It's clear from the fact that Sally doesn't take damage throughout the game (at least up to level 35) that she's got Utsusemi.
Even so, I somehow acquired [Low Poison Resistance], so I think there is probably a way to get it without taking damage... but at least, Sally with 0 [VIT] is no. I'm sure there is a way to get it with damage.
Since it is not specified in the work and the author cannot think of it at all, even if there is, Hyde has not thought of it at the moment.
